Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. Supposedly we were not the fave before.
Maybe Obama helps....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Too late. I've had two calls since I posted.
I managed not to scream, at least outloud.
Thanks though!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just finished mainlining 3 discs of Dexter season 2. Damned shame it's a 4 disc set. This will make me twitchy for the next three days. I need to see!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I meant to say today--Happy Birthday, Abe and Charles!!
From Darwin's autobiography:
[O]ne day, on tearing off some old bark, I saw two rare beetles, and seized one in each hand; then I saw a third and new kind, which I could not bear to lose, so that I popped the one which I held in my right hand into my mouth. Alas! it ejected some intensely acrid fluid, which burnt my tongue so that I was forced to spit the beetle out, which was lost, as was the third one.
Such a dedicated geek...

This is cool, in a "makes ya' think" kind of way: The Evolution of Life in 60 Seconds
The Evolution of Life in 60 Seconds is an experiment in scale: By condensing 4.6 billion years of history into a minute, the video is a self-contained timepiece. Like a specialized clock, it gives one a sense of perspective. Everything — from the formation of the Earth, to the Cambrian Explosion, to the evolution of mice and squirrels — is proportionate to everything else, displaying humankind as a blip, almost indiscernible in the layered course of history.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
We are in the midst of Dexter S3 via On Demand (we turned Showtime on for The L Word). That show thinks it's more clever than it is, but it's entertaining. I grew to really love the sister and I hated her in S1.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
